Equivalent RatesThe Equivalent Rates calculation is used to find the nominal annual interest rate compounded n times a year equivalent to a given nominal rate compounded m times per year.Two nominal rates with different compounding frequencies are equivalent if they yield the same amount of interest per year (and hence, at the end of any period of time).Input• nominal annual rate for the given rate• compounding frequency for the given rate• compounding frequency for the equivalent rateResults• equivalent nominal annual rate• equivalent periodic rateExample•A bank offers 14.75 % compounded annually.What would be the equivalent rate compounded monthly?InputGiven nominal annual rate:14.75 %Compounding frequency for given rate:annuallyCompounding frequency for equivalent rate:monthlyResultEquivalent nominal annual rate:13.8377 %Answer: 13.8377%.

The effective annual rate for a credit card that carries a 9.9% annual percentage rate (compounded daily) is 10.4%.
8% compounded monthly is equivalent to an annual rate of approx 152% . 8.5% compounded six monthly is equivalent to "only" 17.72% so the first is clearly larger.
I suspect that it will be 6.3!

The true annual rate of charged interest is called the annual percentage yield. It is the interest charged and compounded against.
The nominal annual rate of return is calculated from the effective interest rate. It is typically a slightly lower percentage, and gives investors an idea of what their investment may return.
